I think there's probably a reason there's nothing around. Cooling Macs 
is trivial, they don't have heat problems (with the exception of the G4 
Cube). The reason anything pre-7450 even had a temperature sensor was 
because they were using FPGA's to simulate the CPU in development. That 
was a point where changing chip architecture actually helped reduce 
heat! It was merely in production machines for a convenience factor; 
meaning, it was more or less a cooking thermometer :).

CJ,

I appreciate the information that you added, but am a little confused 
by your nomenclature. Not all of us are "Wizards" at the Mac and do not 
know all the acronyms. Perhaps you could expand on the information that 
you included so I could see where you are going? Ie: FPGA and pre-7450 
are not terms that I have encountered yet in my readings except for 
your posting.

Thanks in advance,
Ron
